Senator Mahone,s Book OF Records.

Senator Malone has prepared very
elaborate statement Of the record OF his
predecessors in the Senate from Virginia
and of the leading Democratic members of
the House from that state, showing the
actual results of their services as to Vir.
ginia and the country at large. The sena-
tor also contrasts the policies Of the Repub-
lean and Democratic parties, as applicable
to Virginia, and is particularly severe on
Mr.. Tucker for his refusal to support the
Blair bill to aid common schools because 1t
was Unconstitutional but found license In
the constitution to favor the erection of
splendid library building in Washington
The compilation is well worth reading, and
shows that the Virginia Democratic repre-
sCntatives in Congress are not successful as
makers Of laws, as lees than 10 per cent. o.
the bills they introduced passe |, while 2j
per cent OF Mshone's bills became laws, and
sCme Of them were OF u most important
character. Following Is the summary Of
the record
Hon. John W. Johnston, during his service
ofthirteen years in the Senate, iutrodu1 d 10
bills, OF which only 10 passed that body, and
pl lUt lO OulS lC.h Nu " Nlblnll OF leI
citizens.
Hon. Robert L. Wihcr7 during his six years
&c vice in the Senate. introduced 81 bills, ~
which II passed that body, ana of the II IL
does not appear that more than related to
citizens of the slate,
Hon. John Il. Tucker, dmiug his twelve
wears in the House, introduced li6 bills, only
lTot which appear TO have passed that bIiy
and ofthcse but appear to relate to the stata
or her citizens
Hon. Geo C. CAball, during his tgelve years
in the House. introduced III bills. oaly2 OF
which passed, and these related to the state.
Hon. Geo. d. Wise, during his six years In th1
House. introduced II bills only OF which ap-
pear to have passed that body.
Hon. John S. Barbour, during his six years
in the House, Introduced 100 bills, and only
of all appear to have passed that body, ani
not one of these related to Virginia or her
citizens.
Hon. Charles 7. o. Ferrall, during his fur
years in Congress, introduced 81 bills, not ole
of which appears to have passed.
Hon. John W. Daniel, during his two years
In the House, introduced bills, only,l OF watch
was Il memGer
Hor. William Malone, during his six year
In the Senate, introduced Sc bills, of which q
passed that body. and when considered win
respect to their value will be found to aggre-
gate more of consequence TO the state than al

One of the staunchest business men OF the

said day or two since "there ought to

in the air which people can feel without
seeing, and 1t is soaring them. Then the
corn crop and the hay crop are gone; these
are very serious losses to railroads, All
